Thank you Christophe.

About the Nalimov tablebases, could you say where one can download them, and which files exactly are required?

Regards.

I have downloaded most of the Nalimov TB files from this link: http://tablebase.sesse.net/3-4-5/
You have to download all the 3 and 4 pieces TB files first, then the most frequent 5 pieces TB files.
Always download the files by pair (.nbb.emd and .nbw.emd) or you will have a crash of the engine.
